In Rome there is a place where, in Spring, you can admire the Cherry Tree blossoming...

It's the Japan Walk, around the EUR lake. Petals not yet floating in the air, only the Elves' ribbon dances with the wind.

But between some days, delicate white clouds'll decorate the lake. It's the Sakura given by Tokyo city to Rome, in the '50 years. If you pay attention, you could see a little Fairy between the flowers: she's the Cherry Blossom Fairy.

Every Spring, the Japanese community of Rome - and always more Romans - celebrate the Hanami here. I go here, too, to visit the Trees and the Little People of the Park: Duks, Bumblebees and... Fairies!

Last Saturday and I met there the Little Cherry Blossom Fairy and a Sleeping Baby Elf!

Little Fairy told me that only the Young Trees are in blossom, at the moment, so she was waiting...

...that the Old Trees' buds grow up

and Sleeping Elves wake up!

In the meantime, she look at the lake and, thinking of the Beauty and the Fleeting of a Cherry Flower life, she help him to blossom.

Fairies are so thrilled! My Fairy friend flew fast in the Wood to say "hello" to the young Violets and to give the Notice to the Newborn Fairies!
Birds sing stronger to celebrate the Event and I, in front of such Intensity in spite of the last Winter's breath, can't help thinking about Emily Dickinson's verses:

In an Enchanted Garden - so far from the city - there is a Fairy Magnolia Tree.

Last Sunday my Fairy Friend and me went to visit it. Magnolia is all in blossom, a sweet pink cloud!

Why is it Fairy? Because it's Beautiful, in my view. But, if it were not enough... Legend has it that inside each of its Bud sleeps a Little Winged Elf, who wakes up as soon as the flower opens, just before the arrival of Spring.

My Fairy friend enjoyed herself a lot looking inside each of them, trying to wake up the Little Elves, to admire the magic flowers opening, so I took advantage of this to take these snaps. It's a very rare event to see, for a Human!

Usually only Children, Fairies and Wild Mice can see the Little Winged Elves. It's very difficult to see them because, as soon as the flowers are opens, they fly away! But all of us can feel them, because it's their voice, in the last days of Winter, that whispers from heart to heart: "Don't be afraid, Spring is coming..."
